Politicians Lie? Who Knew!

Yesterday's USA Today had an interesting article about the Annenberg Political Fact Check. The Fact Check is a project of the respected Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. It's goal is to evaluate political ads for their truthfulness, in a non-partisan way. Most ads don't lie outright, of course, but distort, exaggerate, and mislead. Which comes as a surprise to nobody, I'm sure.
